I confess! I was checking my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts multiple times an hour for several days. I was very excessive in pulling my phone out of my pocket and checking for status alerts.
Then, I finally got fed up with it!
On a Sunday night, I turned off my lights, turned off my TV and my phone, and I prayed. I asked the Lord to not only forgive me for what was excessive use of tools, but also to help me throughout the week do the unthinkable...take a social media break. ... Read More

A good while ago, I wrote about how the last iPhone I would use is the iPhone 6. That turned out to be sooner than I thought when one faithful Sunday afternoon, after church, I dropped my iPhone.
While outside talking to my mother on the church parking lot, I accidentally dropped my iPhone 6 on the concrete. The cheap little iPhone 6 case was no match for the abrasive impact as my iPhone 6 screen shattered.
I thought that the screen was the only thing damaged, but I would later find out that ... Read More

I’ve been spending a LOT of time playing “Splatoon” on the Wii U!
“Splatoon” is a game where you play as a squid kid, splatting different colored ink throughout various locations. This most commonly takes place during the online gameplay experience known as “turf war.”
The goal is to get as much of your color of ink splattered over an area as quickly as possible without getting splat by the opposing team.
After spending several hours playing the game a couple of life lessons came to mind. ... Read More

Last month I got pretty caught up in the game Minecraft.
I downloaded the pocket edition of the game on my iPhone 6 and I fell in love with the game immediately. No wonder kids and adults alike play this game!
Granted, most of the time you are just building or destroying stuff, but, theirs something kind of relaxing about it. ... Read More

I have gone without an iPad for 3-6 months all because of unforeseen circumstances. I was the proud owner of an iPad Mini. Before that, I owned an iPad 2.
But, I never would’ve thought that I would be the proud owner of an iPad 2 once again. The excitement I felt to finally get one was like that of when I bought an iPad for the first time. I was most excited because I would finally be able to begin work on some illustration projects that I have held back on for a long period of time.

People who have been around me long enough know that I am a big Sonic the Hedgehog fan. When I as a kid, I played the games, I watched the cartoons, and I read the comics.
And throughout the series I always noticed a certain connection between Sonic and his friend partner in heroic deeds, Tails.
If you carefully observe the series, you’ll find out that Sonic spent time with Tails building up a friendship and brotherhood. He taught Tails everything he needed to know and in turn Tails took his ... Read More

Imagine waking up first thing in the morning. You’re getting ready for work and somewhere in between brushing your teeth and washing your face you’re checking Facebook on your smartphone.
As you let your thumb glide down the newsfeed page, you notice that friend of yours announcing that he gets to work from home and is so happy to not have to worry about traffic. Later, you notice another friend who announces being finally being engaged. Then, another friend on your newsfeed is just as happy ... Read More

Over a span of 3 to 5 years, I have been the proud and happy owner of an iPhone. I owned an iPhone 4, 5, and now 6.
But, lately, I have been noticing something.
There’s a whole world out there full of great smartphones and operating systems that are just as pleasing (if not more) as the iOS. And sometimes, as far as technology goes, you just get tired of the “same ‘ole thing.”
With that, here are my 3 reasons as to why I will likely leave the iPhone universe once I’ve got my fill of the ... Read More

During my childhood, Sonic the Hedgehog challenged me on the issue of where my confidence rested.
During college, Timmy Turner of "The Fairly OddParents" showed me that not everything you wish and desire for your life is necessarily beneficial.
During my late 20's, Dipper Pines of "Gravity Falls" challenged me on the topic of Manhood.
And during my early 30's, Ed Elric of "Fullmetal Alchemist" showed me what happens when you try to play the role of God in certain areas of your life.
Each ... Read More
